That part of Germany (South-east. Although probably all of the east) is a strange. I spent a week in Schneeberg/Aue (south of of Dreseden and Leipzig) and the number of NPD bumper stickers and graffiti was a bit off-putting. The highlight of the trip was probably finding a kebab shop run by a Lebanese guy and being able to speak French with him (I'm exagerating a bit - met some really nice people, and went on some lovely hikes).
One of the problems (apparently - this is a German professor of mine's story) in the East is that you have an emigration West of people who have achieved a decent level of education and/or are women. So you're left with a bunch of young, unsatisfied, and under-educated men.
